Hi,
Does any one know if there's a way or if google is planning to add
feeds to their images search results? Is something like that possible?
In Photobucket and or flicker you have feeds for any tag search you
will do. So I'm looking for something like that in both, Picasa or and
google images.
Thanks.

Aviavia --

Google images doesn't have feeds, but have you checked out Picasa's API?  It seems that this section of the documentation (http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/developers_guide_protocol.html#Find_URL) has what you're looking for.

Thanks, i'll try to get it.
Yes Prac, I know Picasa offers feed for pictures, just for those I'm
looking for there is no button.

Prac,
what you did here is very nice:
function GetURLFullSize(entry) (the photobucket example).
do you have something similar for flickr?

Hello

You right, without thumbnailUrlResolver Flickr send a square thumbnail
of 75 x 75

WIth thumbnailUrlResolver :


thumbnailUrlResolver : GetURLFullSize

you will get wider pictures !!


function GetURLFullSize(entry)
{

var content = entry.content;
var start = content.indexOf("<img src=")+10;
var stop = content.indexOf(".jpg",start)+4;
var thumburl = content.substring(start,stop);

return(thumburl);

}
